[gentoo-user] newbie question not in the faq: what package supplies the command

[Jeremy Schneider]

Here's a newbie question that should be in the FAQ (or is, and I just can't read):

 

What package will supply the * command?

 

The motivation for this question is that I was trying to do "emerge -u system", and groff is not compiling.  Part of the output from that command is this:

...

checking which system macro packages should be made available...
checking for pnmcut... missing
checking for pnmcrop... missing
checking for pnmtopng... missing
checking for gs... missing
checking for psselect... missing
configure: WARNING:

  Since one or more of the above five programs can't be found in the path,
  the HTML backend of groff (grohtml) won't work properly.  Consequently,
  no documentation in HTML format is built and installed.

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating stamp-h

...

 

So I wanted to know what packages I should emerge in order for those programs to be present so that I wouldn't get that warning.  Is this the right thing to do?

 

In case this helps with my real problem, which is "why does 'emerge -u system' fail?", here is what else is reported:

 

...
